Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat and poach the chicken for about 15 minutes or until cooked. Remove and set aside to cool. Shred the chicken into thin strips.
Combine the Dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with the tomato, onion, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and toss thoroughly.
Line a serving platter with the lettuce leaves and top with the salad. Serve immediately.

One of my blog readers/friends recommended that I check out Cookus Interruptus and check out their gluten free section. Granted there is dairy, but I tried this recipe, just replacing butter with Olive Oil..and it was FANTASTIC! Check it out!

Here is a photo of mine ( I used Sriracha on top since I like it SPICY!)

Add the mushrooms and cook for another minute. Then slowly add the remainder of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiling simmer uncovered for an hour or more.

While the sauce is simmering, poke a minimum of 5 holes with a fork in the outer skin of the spaghetti squash. Put the squash into the microwave for 12 minutes, rotating every 2-4 minutes. If the skin does not give when you push on it, then add time until the skin gives. Remove the squash from the microwave and let cool for 3-5 minutes.
